Evastian 0 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Yeah. Many players run community cards multiple times, and I was wondering if any online poker sites actually have this option. Never really seen it talked about, but if it's a popular choice for many live players, why shouldn't it be equally as popular online? Link to post Share on other sites
Ko8e34 0 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I've never seen the running it twice thing happen anywhere other than on HSP. Does it happen at mid-high stakes live? Link to post Share on other sites
Evastian 0 Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share Posted March 11, 2008 I've never really seen it anywhere except on HSP either, but if it's good in principle in certain occasions at high stakes, it should be equally valid at any stakes. Link to post Share on other sites
TB17 0 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I was at Fallsview and I managed to get it all in against a shorty and I flipped up TT, he flipped AK and I asked if he wanted to run it twice. Nobody had a clue what I meant. Then the dealer asked the floorperson and he actually heard about it but said it wasn't allowed. Link to post Share on other sites

bigcoled 1 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Care to elaborate, or can your condescending remarks only extend to three letters and zero words?Do you seriously expect an online site to offer this?!! What are they going to do pause on every hand to see how many times you want to run it? Maybe they should have an admin at every single table on the site to moderate this and ask each player if they'd like to run it once twice three times or 4 times....That is ridiculous and you sir are ridiculous.... The rest of your life will be a joke....sorry for the bad beat, sometimes it's just the hand you're dealt... Link to post Share on other sites

He just asked a question. Maybe in the higher stake games he is asking about. Though I don't know, probably not.

bigcoled 1 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Besides the joke on what the OP has said.... The concept would be very diffcult, if not impossible... It would slow down the game and it would have to offer to run it twice everytime a player was all in, while only offering it at NL/PL cash games... It would also only be able to offer run it twice (not 3 or 4 times, etc) without moderation from an Administrator of the site... It would take immense changes in the software and would the worth of this would never be anywhere near worth the hassel.... Link to post Share on other sites

There would be alot of work because they wouldn't just change the programming and let it fly, they would have to change the programming and repeatedly test it to be sure it doesn't create any errors or glitches, then remedy any errors of glitches... I mean you aren't just changing the number of players at a table or changing the blind structure, you're actually changing the interface to include an entirely new feature... A new feature that will in no drastic way change the number of players at their site... Also it will have to only allow it in cash games that are NL/ PL Link to post Share on other sites

Evastian 0 Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share Posted March 11, 2008 It would take immense changes in the software and would the worth of this would never be anywhere near worth the hassel....What stakes do you play at?I ask because precisely ZERO hardcore online professionals (yes, there are many) would consider a potentially +EV situation to be too much "hassel"? You think a full table of 50/100 players don't care or know about their game enough to realise where dealing it twice is beneficial?I'm not saying that deal it twice is something they should do all the time, but giving professionals more options (if possible) seems to be a valid avenue of interest.As for your comment mentioning that I've only seen it played on HSP, but assume it to be popular...so what? Do I need to rail every live game on the planet to understand that a basic poker option can be popular? Think outside the box and beyond your computer monitor. Link to post Share on other sites

KevinFKHS 0 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I think it might be a fun idea, but if a site is going to do this they should DEFINATELY only do it on specific tables that are marked seperately. Examples would be the no-all-in-protection tables, fast-tables, .....even royal hold'em-tables if you will...lol Link to post Share on other sites

Do I need to rail every live game on the planet to understand that a basic poker option can be popular? Think outside the box and beyond your computer monitor.It isn't going to bring any or not enough new players to their site... So why would they do it? Why would they go out of their way, it's not like they're going to get a big influx of high stakes players, because Pokerstars is already one of the most popular sites to play on... As for EV, read a book.... Also, saying it's not something they should do all the time??? What is the program going to just randomly select which all ins it will offer the run it twice to? Of course the program will have to offer it every time, maybe not at every table, but everytime at the tables it is offered on... And finally, no you don't have to rail every live game on the planet...but a few would help... this is not a basic poker option and a majority of casinos at a majority of stakes wouldn't allow it... From the standpoint of a site allowing it, of course you don't have to understand it they do and that is fine, I wouldn't boycott a site for doing it on certain tables, it would be interesting to see... Do I think a site will do it? No, probably not... Oh yea, and Outside the box, beyond the monitor, clever...I feel motivated and shit... Link to post Share on other sites
